Encouragement

Here's an idea: be an encourager.

There are plenty who will put a person down or trim them down to size. Why not lift up someone? You might even find it refreshing.

Setting the record straight? The record doesn't need you...people do. You are better than that.

Got something to say? Be an encourager.

Hebrews 3:13 (NIV)
13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.

I am thankful to the people who have spoke encouragement into my life. If we were all encouragers can you imagine the impact that would have on the world.

What our world needs is more encouragers and less who want to cut others down. Can you imagine how our army would grow if we all became encouragers instead of discouragers. It is a pride thing to look at others and rejoice in their successes and join in celebrating rather than looking for the small fault that may exist.

Come on let us all look for things to encourage each other about.

Thank you Commissioner for the way in which you turn things into positives.

One word of encouragement to a person can make the world of difference. Let us drop those words as often as we possibly can and the world will be a far better place. Wipe out the dis and give more of the en.

Exactly - the ministry of encouragement requires nothing monetarily, but it si rich in the reward of building a stronger person and situation.
You are an encourager to many and God is working through your ministry!
